About the Dress

A timeless silhouette, the Kylah is a luxurious bridal gown that is entirely hand beaded throughout. This style features a soft V at the front and back of the gown, and the soft tulle fabric falls into a slim fitting shape, complimenting the feminine form.

I wore this dress for our wedding celebration lunch event in July and loved it. It was very comfortable and I could move about in it easily. The dress is still on sale on Rachel Gilberts website.

It has been dry cleaned with no stains or marks. It remains in excellent condition, there is minor beading missing from the lower back of the dress, but it is not noticeable in the way the dress falls. There are spare beads from the alterations if wanted to add on.

Runs true to size, website recommends taking your usual size.

Measurements above are per the dress size from the website (Size 2, M, AU 10)

Bust: 87.5 cm

Alterations

I had the dress altered at the top of each of the straps slightly by an alterations business who specialises in Rachel Gilbert dresses. I also had the bottom of the dress hemmed slightly.

I wore a 60mm heel to the wedding and am 165cm tall.
